Welcome to my nature blog! I love sharing my photos of North Texas! I will keep looking out and hope you do too.
Comments welcome. Thank you, Mary
Kathy was the one to get the star yesterday for catching my title mistake. The email notification had the mistake. However, I caught it as soon as I hit the publish button. In the same way, like slamming your hand in the door. You see it coming but the signal to the brain can’t stop…
Every year I look forward to early summer. Why? It is all about the blackberries! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
Tis the season to be working hard on finding food and growing! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
Did you think we were going to get rain today? I did. Then as I watched the radar image this morning, it dissipated over Jacksboro. Darn right. However, we’re getting a light shower this evening. One tenth of inch so far! A giant ‘wall of wind’ can blow away structures with the strength of Category…
Continuing on with the second part of Ladonia post. And it certainly was a good day to be out on a Blackland prairie at the Caddo NG! No Frosted Elfins that day. 🙁 Nevertheless, it was a splendid day at the Ladonia Units with new and old friends! Moreover, many thanks to Jeff for suggesting…

A captive bird named Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. She was 29 years old. Billions of the Passenger Pigeons…
Indeed, what a wonderful soggy day! We ended up with a mere 1.85″ at our place! Of course, that was great! However, Jeanne’s Fossil Hill got a whopping 4″! Whatever amount you got (and I hope you got some) was much needed, eh! Paleontologists Find Biggest Pterosaur Species Ever Unearthed in South America This Device…
No complaints from me on the weather today! In anticipation of the rain this week, now would be the time to empty your rain gauge if you haven’t already 🙂 Everyday Plastic Products – Such As Coffee Cups – Release Trillions of Microscopic Particles Into Water Keep looking! The more you know, the more you…
However, we seemed to be getting it whether or not we want it, eh. High temp at our house was 93.7 degrees. So I for one am glad it was windy and didn’t make it to the forecasted high of 99 degrees. Today’s giant farm vehicles threaten 20% of the world’s cropland Could Ants, Termites…
